Long Beach, Calif., pool to be closed permanently

In an earlier post here on The Blogstroke, I shared the story
about the Pac-12 men’s swimming championships being moved to King
County Aquatic Center in Federal Way next month because the city of
Long Beach, Calif., closed Belmont Olympic Plaza pool due to
structural issues.

Earlier this week the city determined the pool was unsafe and
has decided to close the pool permanently. The good news is the
city is looking at building a new pool that will meet current
safety standards.
